Daniel Franco, a California boxer, is in a coma after sustaining serious trauma to the head in a knockout loss against featherweight Jose Haro.

The incident took place on Saturday night in Sloan, Iowa. Reporting on the tournament that was held at WinnaVegas Casino and Resort, the Los Angeles Times recounted how Haro brought Franco down with a right-handed punch in the eighth round. The 25-year-old boxer was taken from the ring on a stretcher and rushed to hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery to stop bleeding in the brain.

“This go fund me account is needed to help with current and future expenses,” the GoFundMe page said. “We do not have any idea of what we are looking at financially so we are only asking for a small amount.”
